Railway Rummy's Club

Another find (this one, though, I purchased from Bookmarks in Hurstmere Road, Takapuna.) A friend of mine who's an ardent rail fan has been helping with the identification and determining the time period this would have been taken. It's a New Zealand scene (the train in the picture behind them says "NZR") and the engine may be a "U" class (possibly a "Ud" as was used by the Wellington and Manawatu Railway, taken over by the Government in 1908). The guesses are still out there, though.
